| 12 | <p>Emdebian and Debian are developed through distributed development all around |
|---|
| 13 | the world. Therefore, e-mail is the preferred way to discuss various |
|---|
| 14 | items.</p> |
|---|
| 15 | |
|---|
| 16 | <p>There are two relevant mailing lists: the sourceforge project list, and the debian-embedded list. Use the latter. |
|---|
| 17 | Emdebian started off independently from Debian and thus had its own list. |
|---|
| 18 | These days it is best to use the debian-embedded list which reaches a wider |
|---|
| 19 | audience. If you are only subscribed to the older emdebian-discuss list then |
|---|
| 20 | you are missing the current developments.</p> |
|---|
| 21 | |

| 25 | is described <a href="http://lists.debian.org/">here</a>.</p> |
